Synopsis

Twenty five years ago, as often happens in our industry, pundits laughed at and called Linux a joke. To say that view has changed is a massive understatement. This book will cement for you both the conceptual 'why' and the practical 'how' of systems programming on Linux, and covers Linux systems programming on the latest 4.x kernels.

About this title

About the Author

Kaiwan N Billimoria taught himself programming on his dad's IBM PC back in 1983. He was programming in C and Assembly on DOS until he discovered the joys of Unix (via Richard Steven's iconic book, UNIX Network Programming, and by writing C code on SCO Unix). Kaiwan has worked on many aspects of the Linux system programming stack, including Bash scripting, system programming in C, kernel internals, and embedded Linux work. He has actively worked on several commercial/OSS projects. His contributions include drivers to the mainline Linux OS, and many smaller projects hosted on GitHub. His Linux passion feeds well into his passion for teaching these topics to engineers, which he has done for over two decades now. It doesn't hurt that he is a recreational ultra-marathoner too.
